Bafana Bafana midfielder Fortune Makaringe believes the inability to convert their chances haunted them against Madagascar in the end.

Bafana were knocked out of the COSAFA Cup by Madagascar, who held them for 90 minutes before beating them 4-3 on penalties at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

"I think we played very well as a team and as a collective," Makaringe told SuperSport TV.

"I just think that we couldn’t convert our chances but it’s unfortunate we lost the game on a penalty shootout."

The Maritzburg United man also gave his opinion on playing with a few of his club mates such as Siphesihle Ndlovu.

"Football is football. Whenever you play or with whoever you play with, if you master your instructions from the coach, you’ll do well at the end of the day. We are all playing football so it’s the same thing," he said.
